Jurisdictional Issues. The Site is operated out of the United States and the Apex services, materials, offers, and information appearing on the Site are intended for U.S. users.

By using the Site, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Site or these Terms of Use must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises or be forever barred. Apex’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
